Richard-

1. Definitely smart to focus on profession/education FIRST, bb SECOND.

2. Why not compete in natural events?

3. Best to focus on only a few things - MMA is awesome, but it's very hard to be GREAT at a career, MMA, AND BB!  I'd suggest just picking 2!

Good luck + I hope you compete again to show people what REAL (no-gut) BB looks like!

Any RJ updates?

He completed once and didn't do too well - did he decide to hang up the trunks for good?

they dont want great physiques like richard. they want big lumps of shit like heath

[michael arvilla]

Great potential (Was heralded as the "Next Shawn Ray" if i remember correctly) a lil more size (legs) that's it...(was smart tho went back to school/get a degree..focused on career/making a decent living) shame he couldnt have done both  (it's bodybuildings loss!)

[Flexb]

He works with crime scene forensics apparently. He sucked his last sponsor dry, only competing in one show during his 4-5 year sponsorship and was finally cut. Every year was supposed to be the year he got back on stage but he never did. Don't expect him to ever.

[leadhead]

He made a great decision ditching professional bodybuilding. He had great potential though. Back when I bought bb mags, I remember pics of him and he had one of the most complete physiques.

I will say one more thing.......there is NO money in this sport. People have to understand it's NOT like you're getting deals like guys in the NBA, NFL, MLB. They have the luxury of perfecting their respective sports because they have all the right resources and the income to do so. Stop and look at some of the "TOP" guys. There are only a handful that are making money from this sport. Yet, there are over 200 pro's today. Some you will never see because they just don't have the financial backing to be at this level. Darrem Charles has been a pro since I graduated highschool and he still gets shafted at certain shows. In my opinion he should be a top six guy at the O. Nearly, 14 years later he still there getting better. Nothing personal on Darrem, I just think he should be one of the highest paid guys. Six pro wins......what more do you want from a veteran?

So, I hoping to secure my future outside of bodybuilding by going to school and trying to break into the corporate business world. There is nothing to retire on. With the exception of Ronnie and Jay who have made massive amounts of cash and rightfully so. They're the best! In the NFL, the league minimum is $770,000! That is the least a player can get paid even for an inactive season. That's about $64K a month! A good pro, is lucky if he gets that in a year. Not to mention the women and figure pros and other pro bodybuilders with NO contracts at all. Shame, shame, shame.

I'm out.....got things to do.

Sincerely with respect to all athletes who are trying to achieve their dream but are held back,

Richard Jones

Totally agree.   

[DK II]

Totally agree.   

That's why you need a business on the side, like Milos did...

You probably know best what i mean, Steve.

Someone here should give him a stage name as a kick start for his "business"
